KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided		Sep 08, 2010	656
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided	Like to see it used on some small projects to see how it will work.	Aug 31, 2010	650
KYTC	32 David Quarles Agency	U Undecided	I have concerns about workers walking over the steel reinforcement and breaking the connections apart. I would be willing to try a small project to see if this works. A bridge deck would be the most trying for this connection. I think a wire tie is still more economical than this project.
